The Facts: The Jaguars made a trade for a running back, but they have no plans to trade for a quarterback. Despite public calls for them to do acquire a quarterback and questions about whether they actually will, the Jaguars are not considering a trade for a signal-caller, sources familiar with the team's thinking tell ESPN.
Diehards Line:
In recent weeks, there have been suggestions and speculation that Jacksonville could be willing to deal for a quarterback to complement or even supplant Blake Bortles. But they will not be making a trade for Eli Manning, Tyrod Taylor, Nick Foles or any quarterback who has been connected to a trade rumor, according to league sources. Jacksonville hosts the Houston Texans on Sunday before traveling to London to play the Philadelphia Eagles next week before getting to its bye week. The Jaguars think they can get to their bye week in the thick of the AFC South race, and they will have some added and necessary time to rest up for the stretch run that starts Nov. 11 at Indianapolis.
